knocking noise audi a3

[mark945]

hi, i have a problem with my audi a3 when turning right or left it keeps making a knocking noise, and seems to come from the front wheels?, can anyone help?

Are you sure it only happens when turning left or right.How many miles has the car done ?

I just had all my wishbone and anti rollbar bushes replaced because my A3 was knocking from the front.Its perfect now.

Hi yeah its only when turning, its done about 50000 miles,

My guess is CV joints but could be track rod ends.

is this a big job?

H, I just had a look at it there, it only seems to be from the left side?

I do but get a 2nd opinion before you shell out any cash if doing yourself.
